Disney/Pixar’s Inside Out 2 has been making waves at the box office, with a global gross of $902.9M through Friday. This is an impressive achievement, especially considering that the original film only grossed $859M in its entire lifetime. The sequel has surpassed this milestone in just 16 days of release, making it the fastest animated movie ever to reach this feat.
A significant portion of Inside Out 2’s earnings come from the domestic market, with $429M in the United States alone. However, the international box office has also contributed greatly, with $473.9M in earnings. The film has performed exceptionally well in overseas markets like Mexico, the UK, Korea, and Brazil, among others.
Inside Out 2 has not only exceeded the original film’s global run but has also cracked the all-time domestic animated top 10 list. With a total of $451.3M in international box office earnings through Thursday, the sequel is on track to surpass the $900M mark once Friday’s numbers are calculated. This success is especially impressive considering the challenges posed by the ongoing pandemic, with markets like Russia and Japan still to come.
As the weekend approaches, Inside Out 2 is expected to continue its strong performance at the box office. With the potential to cross the $1B mark by Sunday, the film is poised to become the fastest animated movie ever to reach this milestone. New openings in overseas markets like New Zealand have further bolstered the film’s success, with record-breaking numbers for a Pixar film.
The success of Disney/Pixar’s Inside Out 2 is a testament to the enduring appeal of animated films and the creativity of the filmmakers behind them. With impressive box office numbers both domestically and internationally, the sequel has cemented its place as one of the top-grossing animated films of all time.
